AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — Air Force
Academy cadets are no longer required to say "so help me God" at the end
of the Honor Oath.

School officials said Friday the words were made optional after a
complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group.

Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson says the change was
made to respect cadets' freedom of religion.

The oath states, "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us
anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live
honorably, so help me God."

The academy says cadets are required to take the oath once, when they
formally enter the school after boot camp.

The school outside Colorado Springs has about 4,000 cadets. When they
graduate, they are commissioned as second lieutenants.

Good. Now let's get superstition off of coins, currency, courts, pledges
and walls. The government should not endorse theism.

I'm sure that "Allahu Akbar " would be much more pleasing to you.
